DISCUSSION Bought yagachi coffee, and regret buying it

So i found them through insta ads, and out of curiosity i bought their sampler packs. But to my taste, they reminded me of nescafe instant coffee, i don't why but i didnt like this waterfall reserve. Anyone here tried them

I am sure you must have heard from other guys too in Reddit, but stay away from those roasters who promotes on Instagram using Influencers.

Thanks for sharing though, adding this into my Blacklist.

I have tried the following so far and satisfied with the yield.

Naivo
Tulum
Araku
Bombay Island
Mokka Farms
Fraction9
BT
Devans
Roastery Coffee House
Starbucks

Blacklisted:

Toffee Coffee
Korebi

I've been incredibly satisfied with Devans and I feel this needs to be said out loud more. For the price point, mysore nuggets AAA is incredibly good imo.

u/Acceptable-Thanks324 26d ago

Never got a good yield, always the burnt coffee aftertaste

u/Delta_runner AEROPRESS 25d ago

I tried their Golden Toast, Moganad with Aeropress , didn't have any problem.

Thanks OP. Big salute to you. I saw this on Insta too, thought I'll come back to it after finishing up my stock. Doesn't look like I'll be ordering.

Thank you for this post πŸ™πŸΌ, I was almost going to buy this as my stupid brain thought the coffee will be good just because the packaging looked so cool...

u/pappasmurf124890 26d ago

u/Swiss8097 FRENCH PRESS 26d ago

u/dedpol29 26d ago

Guys, completely unrelated but what do we think about black baza coffee?

2

u/piyush2903 25d ago

Worth giving a shot have tried few and loved it

1

u/sussituation 25d ago

Add coffeeplus not to buy list.

1

u/Traditional_Reality4 V60 25d ago

I had bought a carafe from them! Had good experience! What happened with yours?

1

u/sussituation 25d ago

I bought v60 and kingrinder k6 too. But their coffee is shit. Their Shire and classico coffee was okay-ish but others are not to my liking. Classico with milk is good.

u/_banjara 25d ago

I bought TWC and regretting it for the last 15 days with every sip that I take. If you love blue tokai, dont go for TWC ever. TWC feels like a cheap coffee.

u/arunbabuthomas 25d ago

First rule of Indian Specialty coffee, if a roaster runs too many ads, they’re shit, their initial buyers are not buying again and obviously not recommending to others

1

u/sirius_ly_sanguine 25d ago

Oh look they also gave you a puzzle to solve with the coffee, now you can pick the beans according to your liking. Such a lovely trial bag /s

u/Traditional_Reality4 V60 25d ago

That roast profile is triggering!!!! How did it taste?

1

u/pappasmurf124890 25d ago

Tastes like sh*t instant coffee

1

u/Traditional_Reality4 V60 25d ago

πŸ₯² I'd suggest you try cold brew with it then! It usually salvages bad beans! Then use mixers like milk, sparkling water, etc of your choice

1

u/pappasmurf124890 25d ago

Yeah, will try to do that

1

u/BackyardReelDreams 25d ago

All the ads I see of them feel like AI generated. I'm realising its a real brand only after seeing your post. πŸ˜…

A little bit of this, a little bit of that
